Minimisation of Multiplicity Tree Automata

Stefan Kiefer ; Ines Marusic ; James Worrell.

We consider the problem of minimising the number of states in a multiplicity tree automaton over the field of rational numbers. We give a minimisation algorithm that runs in polynomial time assuming unit-cost arithmetic. We also show that a polynomial bound in the standard Turing model would require&nbsp;[&hellip;]

The Big-O Problem

Dmitry Chistikov ; Stefan Kiefer ; Andrzej S. Murawski ; David Purser.

Given two weighted automata, we consider the problem of whether one is big-O of the other, i.e., if the weight of every finite word in the first is not greater than some constant multiple of the weight in the second. We show that the problem is undecidable, even for the instantiation of weighted&nbsp;[&hellip;]
